Some pictures to post. First, here's the layout shed, 10'x18'



Back in May I was all set to start laying track and I took one last look at the state of Lakefield's backdrop. I knew that the blue I had chosen for the sky was too pale under the actual lighting conditions, but I wasn't sure how much it bugged me. I realized that if I were going to change it, this was the last "easiest" time to change it before trackwork was down. So I bit the bullet and removed the benchwork from the walls. I did the repaint this weekend:

Next step, re-mount the Lakefield benchwork:



One lesson I learned when I built the benchwork - do knot forget to check for knots!



I was in a hurry and forgot to check. Luckily the split went to the bottom rather than the top, so the joist wasn't wasted.

That's it for now...
